Birthday "rbapk Offerings
st. Louis Globe Democrat

The Sunday school OF my church hss an
ingenious snd very simple method OF rails
ing money in connection with the recur-
renee Of birthdays. Each chicer, teacher
and scholar is bound by a happy rule to
bring on the Sabbath sitter the occurrence
OF 8 birthday as mary pennies as the day
numbers years, the pennies going to make
up thank Offering. This csases the
young to appreciate the return OF birth
days, and the character CT the Offering
suggests to their minds the propTiety
Of being thankful for esch year they live
Those who never grow older than z Cer-
tain convenient limit have no record kept
Of the pennies they drop in, but il al
other cases the name of the person sud
the number OF pennies he puts il are
tsken down. When our scholars grew
older their contributions to this fund ere
much larger, and Ss some Of the teachers
sre well on to the scTiptursI Limit OF life,
the sums that are dropped in are some
times quite respectable.
